Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

This is likely the best short-term rental around - it was clean, in a nice, safe area, the owners communicative and helpful. I loved the veggie garden and all the cute decorative items throughout the house. But in all honesty, the place was in dire need of extensive (& undoubtedly expensive) repairs. While I can appreciate all the hard work the owners have done already to bring it back from a pile of rubble (as detailed in the book supplied), much needs to be done by skilled tradesmen to truly bring this property up to standards.

My friend & I found the B&B to be as advertised. We were in and out during our 2-night visit, so we didn't have time to take advantage of the games and reading material, etc. but we rested & slept well! The property's close access to US 258 means that guests with activities in Franklin VA or Murfreesboro NC or inbetween will find it an attractive choice.

Overall the home gave us what we needed in Como (which is also my family's home city when it was called Maney's Neck) since the 1800's. My Uncle Colin's house, just a quarter mile away, brought back many memories on his farm when I was a child. Pros: Ms. Ruth was VERY responsive and easy to get in touch with. Very quiet neighborhood. Lovely outdoor garden. Shower pressure and temperature was AMAZING. Cons: Definitely old. Can use more updating while respecting the integrity of the history of the home. Mattresses can be a lot better. For older family members, certain structural elements can create a falls hazard for the elderly. Otherwise, we're appreciative of the stay. Thank you Ms. Ruth.

My husband and I enjoyed spending the week at this beautiful, quiet home while we were working in nearby Franklin, VA. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the home itself had every amenity necessary and then some. We would definitely stay again!!

Check in was a very simple process. For the age of the home and property we were very impressed with the cleanliness of the house. Plenty of space for each of us, and enjoyed the company of the local Cat. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone who visits that part of the state.

The home was nice, but there was a drowned mouse in the master bathroom, and the bedding in both rooms was damp. However, it was an adventure and we were close to my niece and enjoyed our visit!

We had a great stay! Ruth truly is a super host! She bent over backwards when we accidently got locked out. The property is cute, quaint, and comfortable. We had everything we need, and I highly recommend!

Easy, early check in to a lovely older home with great history - and cotton fields out the back door. Very quiet and peaceful. Coffee bar, a basket of snacks and other nice touches by the owner. If it had been warmer we could have enjoyed one of the three outdoor seating areas. Everything one could possibly need was at our fingertips. Would definitely stay here again.
